Inside the abandoned village in Spain on sale for less than the average UK home

An entire village near the Spanish coast is up for sale for less than the average UK home.

With two houses, a mill, a granary and other attached buildings, the plot is situated in the Galicia region of northwest Spain.

The abandoned village is on the market for £261,607 (€299,450), £30,000 less than the average price of a home in the UK.

The main home is a Galician farmhouse surrounded by a tall stone wall. There is also a granary, a chicken coop, stables and a hayloft.

The second house has a large flour mill in its basement which is powered by the nearby river which is easily accessible from the properties, on the north and east of the plot.

The buildings occupy an area of 1,296 square metres on a plot of 5,031 square metres. If not lived in full-time by the owners, it would be ideal for a second home or a holiday let.

It is very close to the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage route across Europe which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The village is also a stone’s throw from the beach with hour-long journeys to nearby Foz and Betanzoz.

The site has many other such villages for sale, with over 100 on its website.

Spain, like other European countries, has lots of abandoned villages due to a general exodus to more urban areas as well as most of the population living on the coast.
